Active Voice

The document discusses active and passive voice in sentences. (1) Active voice has the subject performing the action, while passive voice has the object as the subject. (2) To change a sentence from active to passive, the object becomes the subject and the subject is added after "by". (3) The tense, singular/plural forms, and helping verbs like "be", "have", and "had" must be changed appropriately to transform between active and passive voice.
